From Spanish (first generation) to Spanglish (one and a half to second gen) to English (third generation). Sounds familiar.

Johnny Canales used to do this all the time.
He could speak English and Spanish SO fast at the same time, mixing words, sentences, phrases and parts of words.
He was fantastico, muy fab.
SPANGLISH.
Hasta la bye-bye.
Usted betchum.
Not new. Been around for mucho long time.

It's now "new" and big time. Es muy good news, hombre.

Yeah, not exactly new, we had "Berlineese" in Germany...but it does have a twist, I think it's sounds fun. Prolly a good way to help integrate into either English or Spanish.
In the disco days throughout Europe, it wasn't uncommon for a club dj to be versed, and go back and forth, in German, English, French and Spanish.
Dang, I miss disco :(

:O)

Reggaeton is the ticket. We got into that sound around here about three years ago ~ then we took a trip to visit relatives in Southern California just last October.

Not a single station in TJ, San Diego, LA or any of the other places we visited played a single Reggaeton piece.

There was clearly a market there ~ like this stuff is dance music with an appeal to everybody ~ but the Spanish language stations were playing mostly Mexican style stuff ~ definitely some dull material.

It was only a matter of time until the market revolted, and it sounds like that has happened with the expansion of the language base.

We only had one of these stations for a couple of years and it merely rebroadcast New Jersey and New York stations. Then competition got in the mix, and we started having live DJs ~ bi-lingual too.

Sometimes they'll play some of that Mexican stuff and my eyes glaze over to hit 93.1 or 93.3, my two favorite Country and Western stations.

Not Spanglish. Englanol.
